CRC Full Commission Meeting October 17 in Tallahassee

Posted on October 16, 2017

MEDIA ADVISORY

The Constitution Revision Commission (CRC) will hold a meeting of the full Commission tomorrow, Tuesday, October 17 beginning at 2:00 PM in Tallahassee. The meeting will be livestreamed by The Florida Channel on www.TheFloridaChannel.org.
During the meeting, CRC Commissioners will have the opportunity to directly sponsor public proposals. According to the Rules of the Commission, a public proposal must receive at least 10 Commissioner votes in order for it to become a Commissioner-filed proposal. Votes on public proposals are procedural votes and do not represent a vote on the substance or merit of any individual proposal. If a public proposal receives the required 10 votes, it will be filed by the sponsoring Commissioner and referred to the appropriate CRC committee for further consideration.
Direct sponsorship of a public proposal is one of several ways public input is incorporated in the CRC process. Commissioners may also create their own proposals inspired by comments heard during CRC public hearings or multiple public proposals regarding the same subject area.
